Another great history lesson

This still stands as one of my favorite movies of all time.
This movie, with an all-star cast centers around the D-Day invasion of Normandy. The neat thing is, it deals with it from different points of view. My wife, and kids don't get into it because of the subtitles. I think that adds a lot to it. The Germans speak German, the French speak French, etc...., for me that adds to the mystique of the film.
It was filmed in black and white to add to the newsreel flavor, not to mention make the best of stock footage. A colorized version is available, but I think that takes something away from it.
